Grieving doesn’t only occur after the loss of a close friend or family member, people grieve for a limitless number of reasons.
Loss of a Relationship: We grieve the loss of our friendships and relationships of all sorts. There’s a reason that it’s called heartache. We grieve a lover’s infidelity, the change in health of a loved one, and often the pain of betray follows us for years. All of these situations, and more, are unique in their process of healing.
Miscarriage & Birth: The connection that forms between a pregnant mother, expecting partner, and unborn child is incredibly intimate and when circumstance severs that bond prematurely, it can be devastating for both parents.
Loss of a Job & Career: Losing a job can make us feel inadequate, or even remorseful if we feel as though you did something wrong. We may feel we were treated unfairly or feel a loss of community. With the passage of time, these emotions of worthlessness and self-blame can translate into complicated grief. Grief can feel slippery and when it’s not processed, can begin to look more like depression.
Loss of a Dream: From “Death of a Salesman” to “A Raisin in the Sun”, there’s a reason why so many great works of literature detail the death of a dream. When you lose that thing that you’ve worked so hard for or have always dreamed about achieving, it can be difficult to understand your place in life, or where to head next. Health, finances, and family can all prove to change and provide deep losses over a lifetime.
Moving: Moving is a unique category of loss that combines many of the aforementioned topics, from loss of relationships (through physical distance) to loss of a job (having to start your career over somewhere new), to loss of contact with the everyday places that you came to love even if you didn’t notice it at the time.
